"DoCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture "A Revival Of Old Time
SimpIicities.


In one of Harper's issues is given a very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated pant
ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time" IL
represents a typical old-timer, with his pei
lows, blowing the dust from an anclenb
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this gene
ration is appreciated only as rare reIc.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Ola
Time,n brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose,
Time Doctoring.'
We learn, through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary med
icine firms of the country, has been LOT
years investigating the formulas and med.
ical preparations used in the beginning OF
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaining why people in our great,
grandfatherS' time enjoyed health ana
physical vigor so seldom found in the pres
ent generation. They now think they have
secured the secret or secrets. They find
that the prevailing opinion that then ex-
listed, that "Nature has remedy for every
existing disorder" was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Continual
trespass upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant, and has driven
them further from civilization, until they
have been discarded, as remedial agents,
because of the difficulty of obtaining them.
H. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder Of the Warner OBJ
seryatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been press
ing Investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of ''Warner's Log Cabin R.-n-
edies." Among these medicines win be q
"Sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver, clog
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy for the
stomach, etc, LOG Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy a remedy called "Scalp-
inc" for the hair, clog Cabin Extract y for
internal and external use, and an old val
liable discovery for Catarrh, called clog
Cabin Rose Cream" Among the list is also
q LOG Cabin Plaster,'' and Log Cabin
Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation II IS believed
by many that with these remedies q new
era is to dawn upon suffering humanity, and
that the close of the nineteenth century will
see these roots and herbs, as compounded
under the title of Warmers Log Cabin Rem
edies, as popular as they were at its begin
ming. Although they come in the form of pro-
prietary medicines, yet they will be none the
less welcome, for suffering humanity has
become tired of modern doctoring and the
public has great confidence in any remedies
put up by the firm of which II. H. Warner
is the head. The people have become
suspicious of the effects of doctoring with
poisonous drugs. Few realize the injurious
effects following the prescriptions of many
modern physicians. These effects of poison.
Gus drugs, already prominent, will become
more pronounced in coming generations
Therefore we can cordially wish the old
fashioned new remedies the best of success
